History

Prior to the Second Balkan War, the village was largely Slavic speaking. In the early 1920s, refugees arrived from Asia Minor during the Asia Minor Catastrophe when they fled from the Turks, the Slavic speaking inhabitants moved mainly northward. In 1997, the community joined the municipality of Aridaia.
